Haven't seen Sister Havana in a while... Also, nothing from the people whose profiles I most recently reviewed, like Meat and bd3521? Or some of our old favorites?

ok, need a little advice here....

As I mentioned over at the underground, I've been in contact with what I think is a pretty good looking girl. I'm definitely interested in chatting her up a bit, but she seems sort of disinterested. I made first contact after we "double matched" and she responded by asking for my screen name. I gave it to her, and asked for hers in return. Eventually, after a follow up message 2 days later, she gave it to me, but hasn't really been around this weekend(away messages always up)

What is the shark move here? Do i just IM her and try to strike up a convo? Now, In B&M dating, Id just call. However, the online element is really throwing me off. Part of me is hesitant, as I don't want to come off as some kind of weird IStalker. But, another part of me is thinking... If she isn't interested, she'll just blow me off, and I'll be right back where I am now anyway.

So whats the play here? IM? message at the site? cut bait? TIA

if she wants to IM, then IM. Its been my rule of thumb to usually ask for a date on the second or third communication. I don't feel like fooling around messaging forever and I made the mistake early with a few cute ones to not press the meeting early enough. I'd say IM, maybe leave something funny as to one of her away messages, then chat her up first chance and ask her out.

Yeah, thats kinda what I'm thinking. Worst case scenario, she blows me off, and I can move on. As of now, I know nothing other than her first name, how old she is and what she is going to school for. For all I know, she could live on the other end of the state. But yeah, if i think there is potential, I'll push for a meeting fairly quickly. I've got enough friends to instant message.

you'll learn quick that these girls, especially on hotornot are flaky. either nail them down ASAP or watch them go in directions which make no sense. my bad advice is to just ignore it when some girl who you know you can get seems into you then falls off the map one day. really no sense worrying about it.

Date 8 = Dinner at gamekeepers

My girl came over about 6:00, i then introduced her to my mother, sister and brother.

I drove to Gamekeepers in chagrin falls

we sat outside in a private little corner, ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed each others conversation

each had a nice fish dish that went great with the wine.

after dinner we walked around the quaint little town that is chagrin falls

we walked by the falls, then around the little square ending up back at the car

we then played games while watching the first Lord of the Rings (some of her favorite movies)

we player Don't break the Ice" and then Scrabble, we had a lot of fun, then fooled around after that.

she then had to leave so we said goodbye and that we would see each other on saturday for my sister's graduation party

 

[Alias]

Okay, so I've been on eHarmony a while now.This is the first time I've seen this "must-have":Abstinent...... I must have a spouse who has saved himself/herself sexually for marriage.:closematch:

wait 'til you get the pornography one... "I can't be with someone who owns or looks at pornography of any sort"

I just got that one

 

[BassNBrew]

hmmm...this must have sounds promising...

Sexually Knowledgeable...... I must have someone who is mature and experienced as a potential sexual partner and is able to express himself/herself freely.

Why? Are you into leather and riding crops?

 

[Woz]

For those of you with connections which seem to have disappeared, he's transcript of a successful reconnection I just had:

Woz: I'm going to go ahead and message you again just in case you got so excited that I asked you for a drink you forgot to message me back and say yes.

But either way, I hope med school is going okay for you.

Blondie: I DID get your message... and I might have been excited about something - or a lot of things. I have the attention span of a 5yo and if I don't respond to things IMMEDIATELY, I forget usually....

Anyways, a drink sounds nice.

Tossed the Hail Mary and it worked. Seeing her Friday

 

[Jabroniking]

So, here I am sitting here at work minding my own business. Today is a female co-worker's last day. She is moving on to a different company. The girl is fine....that's all I can say. So, she comes up to me right before she is leaving and drops a bombshell on me. She tells me it was great working with me and that she has had a crush on me for the last year but never said anything because she doesn't mix business with pleasure. But now that she no longer works with our company all bets are off. She hands me a piece of paper with her number and address and tells me she has decided that I am taking her out tomorrow and to pick her up at 9:00. She leans over, kisses my cheek and tells me don't be late and then walks away smiling. She did this in front of everyone so you can only imagine how I'm getting ribbed right now. I have never been asked out by any girl, yet alone one of this calibur. I usually am the one doing the approaching and running game. This girl has peaked my interest....she's got game!

Okay peoples.....this is the situation I am facing as of just a little bit ago. How far should I take it with this girl. I've worked with her for 5 years....she is hot as hell and a cool person so it's not like I don't know her.Keep in mind she approached me told me I was going to take her out tomorrow. She kissed me on the cheek, smiled and left. It seems as if I could go all the way with her, but should I? I do think she is cool as hell and don't want her as a booty call.

So, if the opportunity presents itself....do I do it.....or do I go the gentleman route? But if she presses the issue, I don't think I'll be able to resist. What would you do with this situation if you wanted something more than just doing the deed?

UPDATE

Well, my date went off without a hitch Saturday night. Now I am a confident guy....but I have to say, I was nervous as hell after reading some of the responses I got here. Someone said something about her having high expectations being that she had a crush on me for a year.

Anyhow, I spent most of the day washing clothes, cleaning my place, I got a haircut, went to the bank, and I detailed my car inside and out. I wanted to be looking my best and give a good first impression. Plus it helped pass the time away because I was just as anxious as I was nervous. I called her later in the afternoon and got directions to her place. We chatted briefly and she was very flirtatious with me.....and me with her.

FAST FORWARD

I arrived at her place right on time because that's how I roll. I had stopped at florist on the way and bought her a nice bouquet of flowers. I handed them to her when she answered the door and she smiled and gave me a hug. She told me I was off to a great start and invited me in for a drink.

After we finished out drink, I told her I made reservations for us at this local upscale chop house that has an small and intimate martini/cigar bar upstairs with live music. The place is real posh and pretty expensive, but it is one of the coolest places to go where I live and has a great atmosphere for a date. She was really excited to find out where we were going because she had never been there before and always wanted to go.

We left her place and headed over to the restaurant/club. It was packed being it was a Saturday night. I walked up to the maitr'de and told him I had a reservation (which I did make), but he told me I wasn't on the list and it would be a 2 1/2 hour wait. She looked over at me and seemed disappointed, but smiled and said we could go somewhere else. I looked at her and smiled. I said something about her knowing me for a while and she still didn't realize I don't take no for an answer. I reached into my pocket and pulled a $50 out of my wad, folded it up and put it in the maitr'des hand. I said listen my friend, this is our first date and the lady has never been here before. I'm sure I'm on the list. He maitrede looked at the bill and then at her. He looked down at the list and said...oh here you are, I must have overloooked your name. Come with me. He hooked us up with a table off in the corner which was nice because we were able to have some great conversation. We ordered our food and drinks and talked.....and talked. Things were going well.

After dinner, we headed upstairs to the martini/cigar bar. Suprisingly...there wasn't much smoke because they had an excellent exhaust system. I ordered us a couple more drinks and we sat down in a love seat back in the corner listening to the music and talking. I asked her if she minded if I smoked a cigar. I told her I don't really smoke..but I like to have a cigar now and then if the mood and the company is right. She didn't have a problem with it...and she even shared a few puffs while sitting on my lap at one point. She said she felt like dancing...so I put the cigar out and obliged her. It started out in good fun...then became more and more flirtation....to flat out bumping and grinding. We looked into one anothers eyes and smiled. I made my move right there planting one on her right in the middle of the dance floor and she didn't resist. I was really into her (keep your minds out of the gutter) and she was into me.

We had drinks and danced the night away.....until they kicked us out to close. After that...we left the club and I told her that there is nothing better than eggs and bacon at 2:00 AM right after the bar. She agreed, so I took her to a local 24 hour restaurant and got breakfast. I wasn't really hungry, I just didn't want the night to end. We had breakfast and coffee. We really found out that we have a lot in common and both agreed we were feeling a connection.

It was now after 3 in the morning, so I took her home. I walked her to the door and we kissed. She asked me to come inside. I told her if I went inside I couldn't guarentee that I could continue being a gentleman because I can only be a gentleman for so long before the time limit expired. She said that was a shame.....and it was a good thing she wasn't looking for a gentleman right now. Needless to say I went inside and did all the things that two people who are attracted to one another do. I ended up waking up around noon with her cuddled up close to me looking at me. She was looking at me. She smiled at me, but looked uneasy. She told me she really isn't that way with the guys she meets.....meaning doing the deed so soon. I told I wasn't either....I usually wait for the third date. She laughed and then I told her that I am just as attracted to her as she is to me. I told her this wasn't a one night thing for me and that I would love to get to know her better....and if she wanted we could take a step back and move along slower. She seemed to appreciate that. She kissed me and said she would like to get to know one another better as well.

We ended up spending the day together and I finally went home in the early evening. So, needless to say we hit it off majorly and I am only interested in seeing her exclusively.

To be honest, I wasn't even going to post an update here, but Krista asked me to. This was by far the greatest date I've ever been on with a girl in my life. I understand your skepticism and knew there would be when I posted the message....which is kind of why I hadn't posted anything in the first place until Krista asked me to.

Confirmed. I PM'd and asked him to post it as we needed a little life in here and I knew everyone was curious as to how it had gone. I'll admit, however, that I was a bit skeptical as I read the whole thing as well.

dates like these are a rareity but they happen - and it's an absolute blast and probably nothing better

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Are we so jaded that we cannot believe that dates under these circumstances could actually happen?

Jabroniking, that's awesome, sound like a great experience that might very well keep on giving...

Good on ya!

I prefaced by saying that I had no reason to think it didnt happen. It just sounded too perfect, a rarity around these parts given recent abortion conversations, seedy 11pm meetings in parks and bringing along the kids. Again,

I tried to give a detailed description (play by play if you will) of how the date went. Would it have been better if I had just said everything went well? Then people would want details if I did that. Please keep in mind I have known this girl for some time as we wroked together. She admitted she liked me and she asked me out. Also, I have a very outgoing personality. I am a no BS kind of guy and am blunt. When I see something I want....I do what I have to do to get it. I have established myself in a stable career and make good money. I said good money....not great money as in 6 figures or anything but I can afford to live a nice bachelor lifestyle. How many times have we seen a guy grease a maitr'de in a movie and we think nothing of it? I wasn't claiming to be original....I'm just dumb enough or brash enough to do it. She looked bummed out when he told us my name wasn't on the list. I thought quick on my feet and did what I had to do to show her a good time and try to "wow" her....as dumb as that may seem.As I said, I understand your skepticism, but I can ofer you no other explanation than I already have.

To be honest, I wasn't even going to post an update here, but Krista asked me to. This was by far the greatest date I've ever been on with a girl in my life. I understand your skepticism and knew there would be when I posted the message....which is kind of why I hadn't posted anything in the first place until Krista asked me to.

Confirmed. I PM'd and asked him to post it as we needed a little life in here and I knew everyone was curious as to how it had gone. I'll admit, however, that I was a bit skeptical as I read the whole thing as well.

Apologies from me as well, as I didn't mean I didn't believe you. It was at the maitre'd part that I got skeptical... (On a side note, I would not recommend that move to most guys--I would be completely embarrassed and would hate it if someone did that when I was there.) I certainly believe that this is what happened, and I congratulate you on having the best date of any that have been described in this whole thread! Thanks for sharing with us and giving the detail--it's just what we needed in here.

Damn, now that's a date!

I would have guessed the coffee and breakfast would kill the momentum built on the dance floor but obviously that wasn't the case.

No worries....but I also only recapped the good parts as well. There was plenty of awkward silence at times...especially in the beginning of the date...but who wants to hear about crap like that?

Ah, gotcha. It seems like an extremely cheesy move to me. Not insulting Jabroni here--it worked for him. I think for many women, however, it would be way too cheesy and "smooth"...and would seem like he was trying too hard to impress.

I'd agree with Krista here. I'd never make this move for fear of this. Don't even think I'd fight the maitre'd and would probably tell the girl I knew of a more casual, less crowded place anyways which was just as good. If she puts blame on you for any of this or even really cares where you take her on a first date if it's reasonably decent (i.e. within your price range and doesn't have clowns doing cartwheels) she's not worth it anyways.

Absolutely not. Why would I care if we just went somewhere else? Don't know where he lives but sounds like there must have been plenty of other options. "Can-do attitude" and "getting things done" just don't equate to this in my mind (bold added): "...pulled a $50 out of my wad, folded it up and put it in the maitr'des hand. I said listen my friend, this is our first date and the lady has never been here before. I'm sure I'm on the list." The way it was described made me picture a smarmy guy trying to impress "the little lady". I picture him ordering for her ("The lady will have...") and just generally acting as if she's helpless and in need of a "big man" to take care of her. I can't stand that stuff.

I'll admit that some women are going to go for that whole routine. But given that virtually no one I know would (I can't think of anyone who would, but I say "virtually" just in case I've forgotten someone), I am suggesting that it's a risky move. Wouldn't necessarily have ruined the date for me, but it would have been a big negative.

Alright, I can see that. I understand the smarmy Otis/Gerardo/Erik Estrada thing going on there.

If it was handled differently, as in just a normal guy slipping him the cash and simply asking to check the list again acceptable?

In my defense....the whole situation did go down a little more discreetly than I described. There were other people around. I leaned closer to him and talked lowly into his ear.......alright now I sound like an ### pirate....thanks Krista....LoL.

Good call on the Otis reference; that's kind of what I was thinking (though I didn't have him in mind specifically, the comparison is apt). Yes, I think there is a way that this could be done in an acceptable way--preferably as quietly and unobtrusively as possible. Jabroni might have even done it that way but just played it up to give the story more flavor. But really, it would be just fine to go somewhere else anyway, so why risk it?

The way it was described made me picture a smarmy guy trying to impress "the little lady". I picture him ordering for her ("The lady will have...") and just generally acting as if she's helpless and in need of a "big man" to take care of her. I can't stand that stuff.

I'll admit that some women are going to go for that whole routine. But given that virtually no one I know would (I can't think of anyone who would, but I say "virtually" just in case I've forgotten someone), I am suggesting that it's a risky move. Wouldn't necessarily have ruined the date for me, but it would have been a big negative.

Alright, I can see that. I understand the smarmy Otis/Gerardo/Erik Estrada thing going on there.

If it was handled differently, as in just a normal guy slipping him the cash and simply asking to check the list again acceptable?

In my defense....the whole situation did go down a little more discreetly than I described. There were other people around. I leaned closer to him and talked lowly into his ear.......alright now I sound like an ### pirate....thanks Krista....LoL.

I had been typing my other response saying that you might have been more subtle, just as you were typing this I guess.
